Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Lakeland are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Lakeland in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost skirts near Lake Mirror Park

I lost my skirts around 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, walking from Munn Park toward Lake Mirror Park in Lakeland. I last saw them on a bench near the Lake Mirror gazebo, a tan cotton A-line with a tiny floral pattern and a frayed hem, just past the white picket fence. I remember tracing the path along the brick sidewalk by the water, hoping they’d turn up on a passerby’s chair by the gazebo. It felt silly and sad at the same time—the skirt was a favorite, goes with the navy blouse I wore today. If you spot them, please keep an eye out for them and return them to this listing.

Lost studs near Lake Mirror Park

I’m missing a pair of small gold studs with clear crystals, and I realized they were gone around 7:15 p.m. last Friday. I’d been walking the Lake Mirror Park loop, near the fountain, when I noticed one was missing from my ear and then both from the jewelry box. They were a wedding gift from my grandmother, so they carry sentimental value beyond the shine. I keep imagining them catching the last light on the water and hope someone nearby picked them up and tucked them away safely. If you found them, please think of someone’s memory attached to those tiny stones.

Lost: two keyboards near Lake Mirror Park, Lakeland

I was at Lake Mirror Park around 6:15 p.m. last Friday when a gust tugged at my backpack and my two keyboards slipped away from the bag. One is an 88-key weighted keyboard with a red corner sticker; the other is a compact 61-key controller I use for practice. The bag is blue denim with a frayed strap and a small dolphin sticker on the zipper. I retraced the promenade by the fountain, past the benches along the lake, hoping they hadn’t rolled too far. I’ve got gigs to prep for and the thought of them out there makes my stomach drop. If you’ve seen them around Lake Mirror or on the paved trail by the water, please keep an eye out.

Lost: Holiday Decorations near Munn Park, Lakeland

I was decorating my porch near Lake Mirror in Lakeland last Saturday around 7:15 pm and realized my holiday decorations were missing. A gust of wind knocked the garlands off the railing and the metal storage box slid toward the driveway as I turned to grab more lights. My heart sank because those decorations carry memories from family gatherings and celebrations. I spent the next hour walking the block and checking nearby porches, hoping they didn’t end up in someone else’s hands.

LOST: Ties in Lakeland

I realized my father's ties are missing after I left downtown Lakeland. Last Wednesday around 5:50 PM I was near Munn Park, the historic green space downtown, right by the benches outside the Lakeland Public Library. The set includes a blue paisley tie and a burgundy one with a slim stripe, kept in a small fabric pouch with a label. Those ties are a fragile connection to my dad, worn during family events and school interviews alike. If you found them, please let me know through the site so I can arrange a safe return.

Lost: Airline travel folder at airport

I lost an airline travel folder at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Lakeland, Florida, around 6:30 pm on Thursday. It is a small leather folder with the airline logo on the cover and contains travel itineraries and loyalty cards. I retraced the baggage claim area and the curb outside Terminal A, but I could not find it. This folder matters beyond money; it holds important plans for an upcoming trip. I would be grateful for any help locating it through the site so we can arrange a safe handoff in Lakeland.
